Chapter 99 Giants Attack! From Konoha Village!
The Palace of Souls.
Chu Yangs from different worlds reunited to share their experiences from this period.
Chu Yang, the latest member to join this group, comes from the world of One-Punch Man.
Spellcaster Chu Yang patted Chu Yang on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Life as an office worker isn't easy, is it?"
Chu Yang nodded in agreement.
Having both been corporate slaves in their respective worlds, the two couldn't help but feel a deep mutual respect.
Naruto Chu Yang successfully extracted the bloodline factor of the Otsutsuki clan, evolving Sage Mode into Six Paths Sage Mode.
Surprisingly, the biggest beneficiary was the Grim Reaper, Chu Yang.
"I sensed that my Zanpakuto was about to be born; it was the power of Yin-Yang Release that propelled them to complete their transformation ahead of schedule."
"That's what Death God Chu Yang said."
"Them? Two Zanpakuto? That's quite a rare sight in the world of Bleach—"
"Magic Chu Yang said in surprise."
Among the Shinigami captains, only two are known to wield dual swords: Captain-Commander Yamamoto's two most prized disciples, Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro.
Kyoraku Shunsui is also the future Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13.
"I'm really looking forward to the day our Zanpakuto is completed. What do you think a Zanpakuto that matches our soul characteristics would look like?"
Excitedly, Chu Yang looked around and asked his companions for their thoughts. His world consisted of only two things: swordsmanship and breathing techniques. Therefore, he attached great importance to the birth of his Zanpakuto.
Ordinary swords cannot bear the full power of the Source Breathing technique, even the wooden sword that Chu Yang created using Wood Release is no exception.
The power of the First Form: Sun and Moon Revolving used by Marvel Chu Yang in his battle against the Destroyer, and the Second Form: Sun and Moon in Harmony used by the Cursed Chu Yang when he killed thousands of cursed spirits, were both reduced.
Perhaps only a Zanpakuto can unleash the full power of the Source Breathing sword technique.
Everyone started discussing it, but they couldn't come to a consensus.
Amidst the noise, Demon Slayer Chu Yang walked up to Martial Arts Chu Yang and said, "Could you collect some sword techniques on your way to Mongolia? The sword techniques in the One Piece world and the Demon Slayer world are too crude. Creating two sword techniques is already the limit."
Chu Yang nodded, indicating that he understood. Although the martial arts world was inferior to most other worlds in terms of power level, it was overwhelmingly superior in terms of profound concepts such as "law" and "way".
If the Breath of the Source wants to continue to advance, it must absorb these profound martial arts concepts.
Breathing techniques themselves are derived from the art of exhalation and inhalation.
After several days, Marvel Chu Yang learned a lot of magic in Asgard. After sharing this experience, Magic Chu Yang gained a lot of inspiration, and his ability to cast spells without a wand has reached a new level.
He could cast the three Unforgivable Curses with ease.
Once Marvel's Chu Yang returns to Earth, he can use the Imperius Curse to infiltrate Hydra and obtain two of the Infinity Stones.
A moment later, the mist appeared, bringing everyone back to their own world.
One-Punch Man World.
The moth-like monster walked straight past the fallen Chu Yang and slowly headed towards the spot where the mother and child had fled. To it, the human whose life was coming to an end no longer held any fun for it.
"Hahaha, these days every Tom, Dick, and Harry wants to be a hero, it's really annoying. It's all because of that weird organization called the Hero Association."
The Moth Monster recalled the Hero Association, which had been established not long ago, and looked utterly disdainful.
So far, none of the self-proclaimed heroes it has encountered have survived its attacks; many were terrified and fared worse than the man it had just encountered.
"What should we do when we find that mother and son? The mother seems to be injured, so we should keep forcing her to run away. If she stops, we should kill her son. Hahaha, her expression will be so interesting!"
The moth-like monster laughed loudly, and thinking of the arrogant young man from before, it subconsciously glanced back at him.
The result was that this one glance made it stop in its tracks, lost in thought.
The young man, who should have died, stood up from the pool of blood, brushed the dust off his body, and the gruesome wounds on his skin were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"What's going on? Is this guy really not an ordinary person?"
The moth-like monster had a bad feeling, but still let out a mocking laugh, "Hey, you're pretty tough. You're not actually a hero, are you? But I've killed plenty of heroes like you, nothing special."
No matter what it said, the young man in front of him didn't seem to care. Instead, he focused on doing some common warm-up exercises, as if he was getting used to his body.
The exaggerated physical abilities made it difficult for Chu Yang, who was just an ordinary person a moment ago, to adapt.
"I'm talking to you, don't you hear me! You damned bastard!"
The moth monster was enraged. Having grown accustomed to the terrified screams of humans, it could not tolerate anyone standing so calmly in front of it; it was a great humiliation to its pride.
"I've been hearing strange noises since earlier. I thought it was just mosquitoes buzzing, but it turns out it was you—"
Chu Yang glanced at it lazily.
"Mosquitoes? Mosquitoes are the thing I hate most in this world!"
The moth-like monster was completely enraged, and Chu Yang's words struck its Achilles' heel precisely.
With its wings unfolding and flapping, the Moth Monster vanished from its spot. As a Demon-level monster with the ability to fly, its speed was even comparable to some Dragon-level monsters!
In its rapid-fire state, the moth-like monster opened its mouth, revealing sharp fangs, and aimed at Chu Yang's delicate neck.
Just as the dental implant was about to touch Chu Yang's skin, it was pinched between two slender fingers, and a terrifying impact erupted at that moment.
"It's just a moth, but it has pretty good teeth."
Chu Yang forcefully broke the moth monster's teeth, then punched it in the face, the explosive force sending it flying.
It knocked down more than ten cars and a house, and dust filled the sky.
Compared to the impact of Chu Yang being thrown out earlier, it was nothing.
The moth-like monster crawled out of the ruins.
Most of the wings on its back were damaged, its steel-like armor was pitted and cratered, and it was covered in blood.
At this moment, its gaze toward Chu Yang was filled only with fear and deep apprehension.
"I'm not a monster whose specialty is strength, and there's nothing to be proud of in beating me in that area," the moth monster sneered. "Human, you will pay the price for angering me."
After saying that, the moth monster flew directly into the sky.
It was classified as a Demon-level monster because it could spread poisonous scales by vibrating its wings.
This poisonous powder is extremely toxic and spreads rapidly, capable of poisoning an entire city in an instant.
"Fool! You'll be poisoned to death along with all those ordinary people!"
The moth-like monster laughed maniacally as it threw poison powder onto the ground.
"A moth is a moth; its attack methods are nothing new."
Chu Yang coldly summoned a shadow clone, which occupied a high point in the city. At the same time, he formed hand seals and used ninjutsu.
"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"
Several waves of fire converged, forming a terrifying, towering sea of fire that surged into the sky. The poisonous powder was instantly reduced to ashes by the inferno.
The moth-like monster looked terrified and tried its best to flap its wings and fly high, but it still couldn't escape being swallowed by the sea of fire.
"Aaaaaah!!!"
Amidst a piercing scream, the moth-like monster burst into flames, its poisonous powder becoming an excellent accelerant, the fire raging ever brighter until it could no longer utter a sound.
In a corner of the city, a mother and son who were fleeing for their lives stopped and stared blankly at the scene.
"Mom, that big brother is a hero, right? He saved us!"
"Yes, child, that is him!"
"Urgent Notice!"
"Urgent Notice!"
"The danger in City D has been eliminated!"
"The demon-level monster roaming the city has been eliminated!"
"Residents of City D are allowed to return to the city and resume their normal lives!"
Breaking news appeared on television again.
The person in the video is the same news anchor who told everyone to leave this morning, but the content is different.
He excitedly shared the good news with the people, though his words carried a hint of lingering fear. The urgent message was clearly broadcast to every corner of the city, and the fleeing crowds stopped on the road to listen quietly.
Many people smiled with relief after surviving the ordeal.
Some people broke down and squatted on the ground, crying uncontrollably.
"Heroes have arrived so quickly?"
"Those guys usually dawdle, I didn't expect them to arrive so promptly this time."
"How dare you talk like that? They protected us!"
"Huh? I remember they all get paid by the Hero Association, right? Everyone's just doing their job for money, what's with all this talk about protection?"
"Even so, you didn't need to say something like that, did you?"
A considerable argument broke out in the crowd. Some people were grateful for being protected, while others felt it was only natural.
The content of the argument was quite amusing; in fact, whenever a city was attacked by a strange person, similar arguments could be heard afterward.
If Chu Yang were here, he would probably just laugh it off. What he wanted to protect was never these people, but the kindness that the deceased girl left in his heart.
The Demon-level monster was quickly eliminated, causing many A-class heroes who planned to rush to the aid of D City to return empty-handed, which also attracted the attention of the A City Hero Association headquarters.
After confirming that it was not the work of a registered hero, the Hero Association immediately dispatched people to D City to investigate.
The battle between Chu Yang and the Moth Monster did not affect the nearby infrastructure. They easily obtained the road surveillance footage and saw the entire battle.
About two days later, someone knocked on Chu Yang's door.
Chu Yang opened the door, and a middle-aged man in a suit was standing outside.
"Hello, Mr. Chu Yang, my name is Foster, from the Hero Association."
The man named Foster introduced himself politely while also sizing up Chu Yang.
Chu Yang's appearance was more ordinary than he had imagined.
He seemed like a young person next door who had just entered society.
"You guys are pretty fast."
"Of course, the elimination of a Demon-level monster is no small matter."
"But it's only at the Ghost level."
"Haha, Mr. Chu Yang is too modest. I have witnessed your battle; the enemy was utterly powerless, and you won decisively."
Chu Yang laughed and said, "Then you must not have read the first half. I got beaten up pretty badly."
Foster replied solemnly, "That just proves your potential. It's very rare to find a genius like you who has just awakened your abilities and can defeat a Demon-level monster."
Chu Yang nodded noncommittally, then invited Foster into the house, and the two sat on the sofa and chatted for a while.
Foster explained his purpose: he had come to invite Chu Yang to join the Hero Association.
"If I join the association, do I need to start as a C-rank hero?"
"How could that be, Mr. Chu Yang? You single-handedly eliminated a Demon-level monster. The association is preparing to rate you as an A-level."
It's a level, just ranked relatively low.
Chu Yang considered it for a while and decided to agree, but before that, he made a request: "I don't want to leave D City for a while. You need to give me a mission, preferably in the vicinity of D City, otherwise I may not be able to carry it out."
One day in the future, the Brotherhood of Giants will pass through here and destroy this city. If Chu Yang cannot stop this, then everything he has done today will be meaningless.
Furthermore, D City is next to Z City, which is the city where Saitama lives.
Chu Yang will have to make contact with the other party sooner or later.
The greatest attraction of this world for him is figuring out how to break free from his own limitations.
Upon hearing Chu Yang's request, Foster scratched his head awkwardly, looking somewhat troubled.
According to the rules, heroes below S-rank must unconditionally obey the association's assignments. Chu Yang is only A-rank, and at the bottom of the list, so it's difficult for him to agree to the assignment.
However, Chu Yang's potential was extraordinary, which made Foster unwilling to give up on him easily.
"Mr. Chu Yang, please wait a moment. I need to ask headquarters for their opinion."
Foster stood up, smiled, took out his phone, and walked towards the balcony.
Chu Yang nodded, indicating that he should go ahead.
After a while, Foster, who had been on the phone, returned and said with a regretful expression, "I'm sorry, Mr. Chu Yang, headquarters has not agreed to your request."
"Actually, we originally wanted to invite you to work at the Hero Association headquarters. There are many important figures there who need private bodyguards, and the compensation offered is very generous—"
Chu Yang waved his hand to interrupt Foster, "Let's stop here, Mr. Foster, I'm sorry."
Foster hesitated for a moment, then sighed helplessly and got up to leave.
He genuinely felt it was a pity.
This young man always gave him a sense of security as solid as a mountain, even stronger than any S-class hero he had ever met before.
Chu Yang didn't feel any regret that they couldn't reach an agreement, since his initial intention in joining the Hero Association was simply to have another opportunity to meet Saitama.
Money and fame are not things that Chu Yang wants to pursue.
Breaking the limiter is the only goal.
night.
The entire city became extremely quiet, like a giant quietly falling asleep.
Chu Yang appeared on the outskirts of the city, setting up a barrier to cover the entire city of D.
The barrier can be activated the instant a city suffers a devastating attack, blocking most of the damage.
In this way, the damage to the city from the aftermath of Chu Yang's battle with "Giant" Margley can be minimized.
half a month later.
"The Giant" Margley appears in City D.
Its towering, enormous body is extremely imposing, with its upper body completely obscured by clouds.
With a single step, a terrifying shockwave will rise up around you.
The Hero Association's classification of it as a Demon-level monster is incredibly foolish. Its true strength is undoubtedly above Demon-level; it's just that Saitama is too strong, defeating it with a single punch, which makes Margley appear weak.
Following the emergency announcement, people began to flee the city in a panic. Many people saw Margley's enormous body and were so frightened that they could not move.
With a wave of his hand, Margley unleashed the wind pressure from the children, which directly destroyed a forest surrounding the city.
Many people saw this scene through television news broadcasts.
How can we escape the attack of that behemoth?
The citizens stared blankly.
A sense of despair was gradually spreading.
"Even if we escape like this, we'll still die!"
"Didn't you see?"
"That giant simply clapped his hands, and the entire forest vanished!"
"Instead of desperately trying to squeeze out, it's better to stay put and wait to die."
Someone in the crowd was screaming hysterically, clearly on the verge of collapse.
"Where are the heroes? Where are they?"
"Please, please save me! I promise I'll never speak ill of you again!"
Some were angry, some pleaded, some were saddened, and some laughed wildly.
Between life and death, all the different aspects of human nature emerge.
Standing atop the high-rise building, Chu Yang silently watched this scene.
The "giant" slowly walked towards this side. Its target was not actually D City; it was just passing through. However, the city was blocking its way and was very obstructive.
Margley raised his arms high, his expression indifferent, like a demon god judging the sins of all living beings at the moment of the apocalypse.
It swung its arms forcefully, and the terrifying force created wind pressure that even distorted the surrounding space.
The storm did not destroy the city as Margley had imagined.
But just as they approached the city, they were stopped by an inexplicable force.
Four purple barriers lit up around City D.
The barrier then closed, firmly protecting it inside.
Four Purple Flame Formations!
The citizens looked up in bewilderment, only to find that they were surrounded by solid barriers formed by purple flames.
"What is this?"
Scientist Falk, standing on Margley's shoulders, pushed up his glasses.
Margley and Falkley are brothers.
Margley, the younger brother, became a super giant after drinking the ultimate steroid made by his older brother Falkor.
While growing bigger and stronger, his intelligence also declined drastically. The current "giant" Margley is not much different from someone with intellectual disabilities.
"Brother, the purple walls!"
"Whether it's walls or anything else, anything that blocks our path, clear it all away, Margley!"
"Okay, brother."
Margley strode toward City D, his weight of hundreds of thousands of tons striking the ground, each step causing a tremor like a magnitude 7 earthquake.
Countless citizens squatted on the ground, trembling uncontrollably.
Fogg looked down at the ground with a cold, aloof expression, a smirk playing on his lips. At that moment, he seemed to be the master of the world.
In the distance, a small black dot is rapidly approaching.
Fokker's smile faded, and he said impatiently, "It's those self-proclaimed heroes again, one after another coming to their deaths, mere mortals like mosquitoes. Margley, kill him."
"Okay, brother."
Margley stared intently at the small black dot. As it drew near, he suddenly threw a punch, the force of which tore through the space in front of him, creating an even larger storm.
Chu Yang swayed precariously in the gale, the barrier behind him began to flicker. He realized that if they fought nearby, the Four Purple Flame Formation would be destroyed sooner or later.
next moment.
Chu Yang began to form hand seals.
A huge wooden figure emerged from the ground.
Ten meters!
meters!
km!
10,000 meters!
In the blink of an eye, the wooden figure was the same size as the "giant" Margley.
In addition, there is a wooden dragon-shaped pea-shaped ornament that hovers around the waist of the wooden figure.
The dragon raised its head high, its gaze fixed intently on the giant.
Chu Yang stood on the wooden dummy's shoulder, gazing at Fokker from afar. "How can something that's all show and no substance compare to Margley?"
Fogg gave a cold laugh. "Smash him, Margley!"
The giant roared as it charged toward the wooden figure, its brutal attack resembling that of a wild beast.
The wooden figure reached out and pinched the giant's mouth shut, instantly silencing the roar. Then, it delivered a hook punch to the giant's jaw.
Boom!Boom!Boom!
Margley was knocked back by the powerful punch, his body jerking backward and nearly falling over, barely managing to regain his balance.
Fokker wasn't so lucky; he slid off Margley's shoulder while kneeling and fell from a height of ten thousand meters.
"Margley!!!"
Falkor cried out his brother's name in terror. The giant looked down slowly and realized that his brother had fallen.
"elder brother!!!"
Margley excitedly reached out to grab Fokker.
"No!!!"
Fokker seemed to realize something and let out a shrill scream.
Snapped!
A splatter of blood burst from Margley's palm. When he released his grip, there was no trace of his brother inside, only a pile of bloody remains.
Chu Yang sighed, "The endings of history always repeat themselves in a striking way."
Margley froze for a moment, then looked up to the sky and howled in grief and indignation, "Brother!!!"
The brother-obsessed giant is enraged to the extreme!
He regarded the wooden figure before him as the culprit, his scarlet eyes locking onto it.
Boom!Boom!Boom!
Margley sprinted forward, causing the ground to shake violently around him.
Seeing this, Chu Yang manipulated the wooden dummy to crouch down, adopting a sumo wrestling stance to meet the enemy's savage charge.
boom!
The two enormous objects collided violently, and the shockwave blew away a helicopter that was broadcasting the event live from a nearby high altitude.
Of the five helicopters, only one remained after the storm.
The LED screen in downtown D, relying on the only remaining helicopter, is broadcasting this scene live, and countless citizens are watching intently.
The Four Purple Flame Array once again blocked the storm, but the barrier had dimmed considerably, clearly unable to withstand the next attack.
"We need to get this guy away from here—"
Chu Yang murmured something.
The wooden figure beneath them responded simultaneously, unleashing its full power and propelling Margli forward.
The area where the two forces clashed was marked with deep, abyssal ravines. "You bastard!!!"
Margley gritted his teeth, his veins bulging, and used every last bit of strength to barely steady himself.
He was about to retaliate.
Unexpectedly, the wooden figure opposite him made a move before he could react, and by the time he realized what was happening, his arms had already been clamped by the figure.
The small black dot standing on the wooden figure's shoulder emitted dazzling azure lightning.
Margley suddenly felt a chill run through his body, his heart pounded, and an indescribable fear spread through his heart.
"Let me go!"
Margley struggled frantically, trying to escape, causing the space and the ground to tremble!
Lightning Release Armor, Source Breathing, Armament Haki, and so on—except for Sage Mode, Chu Yang stacked all the possible buffs. In the end, he had two wooden swords in his hands, one radiating blinding sunlight and the other flowing with bright moonlight.
"Although it wasn't your full strength, it was about 60-70%, which is quite impressive." Chu Yang smiled, then leaped into the air, transforming into a dazzling streak of light and shooting out.
The dazzling light pierced straight through Margley's heart, and his chest exploded as if pierced by a cannonball!
Blood gushed out like a torrent!
Margri screamed hysterically a few times, his breath growing weaker and weaker. The wooden figure picked him up and threw him aside like trash.
Chu Yang sat back down on the wooden figure's shoulder, the image on the LED screen frozen on his indifferent face.
And this face is deeply imprinted in the hearts of everyone in D City.
Foster, who was far away in City A, saw the news and was once again convinced of Chu Yang's immense potential. He then impatiently went to find his supervisor.
"Trust me, he will definitely become an S-class hero. Giving him some privileges ahead of time is perfectly fine."
"Foster, that giant isn't as powerful as you think. According to the investigation, it's just a human mutated by drugs."
"But Chu Yang also displayed overwhelming strength. This is the second Demon-level monster he has defeated, and he only recently awakened his powers!"
The supervisor seemed somewhat tempted, then suddenly fell silent. After frowning and pondering for a moment, he sighed and said, "Foster, I'll trust you this once. From today onwards, you will be his specialist, responsible for liaison between him and headquarters."
Foster jumped up excitedly. Becoming a commissioner meant that his status in the Hero Association would rise along with Chu Yang's strength.
Foster was extremely optimistic about Chu Yang's future.
After his battle with the giants, Chu Yang became famous in D City.
What followed was endless harassment. His address was leaked by a former colleague, and now many media outlets are waiting outside his house every day, ready to conduct an exclusive interview.
After becoming a household name as a hero, Chu Yang's reward was actually homelessness.
"Sigh, these people are so boring all the time."
Chu Yang stood in the shadows of the alleyway, gazing at the sea of people outside his house, and shook his head helplessly.
"You'll get used to it. You'll encounter this kind of thing often in the future, but this time, I suggest you move."
Foster appeared silently behind Chu Yang.
Chu Yang looked at Foster with great surprise, and the latter took out his briefcase and waved it in front of him.
"I have brought you a new contract, Mr. Chu Yang."
Foster smiled broadly.
"I have no interest in being a bodyguard."
Chu Yang stretched and replied lazily.
"Of course not," Foster said somewhat awkwardly, but still said, "Headquarters has agreed to your request. If you're willing, starting today, you're a member of the Hero Association."
After saying that, Foster took out a newly printed contract from his briefcase and handed it to Chu Yang. "Take your time to look at the terms here. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me."
Chu Yang took the contract and nodded.
After leaving his contact information, Foster walked out of the alleyway.
late at night.
The busybodies, having failed to catch Chu Yang all day, eventually left.
Chu Yang breathed a sigh of relief, but not long after returning home, there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it this time?"
After hiding for a day, Chu Yang's temper flared up. With a gloomy face, he walked to the door, pushed it open, and saw a man in a trench coat standing outside.
The man was around forty years old, with a small mustache and black-rimmed glasses, exuding an artistic yet rugged charm.
"Hello, Mr. Chu Yang, I am Luo De, the head of the Major Disaster Response Division of the D City Metropolitan Police Department."
The middle-aged man named Rod smiled, his eyes sharp.
"Metropolitan Police Department?"
Chu Yang was stunned for a moment. In recent years, the Hero Association has become very powerful and has taken over almost all matters related to public security, making the existence of the police extremely transparent. He had almost forgotten about their existence.
Rod wasn't angry at Chu Yang's attitude; instead, he gave a self-deprecating smile. "These days, the word 'police' is quite unfamiliar to people, isn't it?"
"Everyone is used to asking heroes for help when they need it, so the police seem incompetent."
Chu Yang smiled sheepishly and said, "That's not what I meant. I'm just a little curious as to why Officer Rod came to find me."
Rod took a deep breath and said solemnly, "I have a short temper, so I won't beat around the bush. I hope Mr. Chu Yang can join our Metropolitan Police Department as a security consultant."
Join the Metropolitan Police Department?
Be a policeman?
Chu Yang looked at Luo De with considerable surprise.
Rod smiled wryly: "As I just said, the public is more willing to believe so-called heroes than us. Nowadays, the word 'police' has almost become a derogatory term."
"The Hero Association's influence is growing, and even the government is starting to lose control of them. Many high-ranking officials have even sided with the organization."
Luo De said in a solemn tone, "This is not a good thing. The Hero Association is an organization established by the big tycoon Algni. Its essence is to serve the rich. Ordinary people are just incidental objects of protection."
"It is uncertain whether ordinary people will still be protected once this organization completely replaces us."
Chu Yang listened silently. In fact, Luo De's worries were not unfounded.
The Hero Association has a history of transgressions, but given that it has indeed rescued many civilians, people tend to turn a blind eye.
What is quite obvious is that although the Hero Association has undertaken a lot of post-war reconstruction work, it also frequently occupies land privately for its own selfish purposes.
I do things my own way!
No one can guarantee what this force, organized entirely by the wealth of the rich, will become once it gains actual power.
Even though it is so popular with the public now!
Chu Yang could sense Rhodes' urgency, but he was unwilling to get involved in the power struggle between the factions, so he shook his head.
The light in Rhodes' eyes quickly dimmed, and his disappointment was palpable.
There are very few people as powerful as Chu Yang who haven't been accepted into the Hero Association.
"If I may ask, has the Hero Association contacted you?"
"They gave me a contract today."
"No wonder—"
Rod gave a self-deprecating laugh, as if accepting his fate. "The Metropolitan Police Department really can't offer better terms than them, especially for a strong person like you."
Chu Yang shook his head and said, "They did give me very good treatment, but that's not the reason I joined them."
Aside from S-tier heroes, the income levels of other tier heroes are not particularly high.
Ron looked at Chu Yang with a puzzled expression.
"If the Hero Association has problems, doesn't the Metropolitan Police Department have problems too?"
"Mr. Rhodes, if you keep shifting the blame onto others, even if I join you, the police's stance won't improve at all."
"The Hero Association is an organization that was established a few years ago, a pitifully short time ago. Before the Hero Association appeared, the police were the ones people relied on."
"And what have you done?"
"Disappointment doesn't accumulate overnight, Mr. Rhodes."
Rhodes was speechless, lowered his head in shame, and trembled slightly.
Chu Yang sighed. Some things were hurtful, but he still had to say them.
If the Metropolitan Police Department really intends to make changes, then the following day.
Foster arrived at Chu Yang's house with great joy, signed a contract with him, and Chu Yang officially became an A-level hero.
Currently ranked 10th.
A coffee shop in the downtown commercial street of City A.
"What makes you think this guy, whose name I've never even heard of, deserves to take my place?"
"Just because he's been on TV?"
"Those weirdos who mutate by taking drugs are all bark and no bite. I could easily defeat them too!"
Poison Sting, who had just been pushed down from the 10th place of A-level heroes by Chu Yang, angrily complained to his companions, "Why didn't you push someone else down? Why did you have to push me down?"
Sitting next to Stinger is Golden Ball, also an A-rank hero, ranked 26th.
Because of Chu Yang, he is now number 27.
"It's really strange. It's not even the time for open recruitment yet, and suddenly a hero I've never seen before has appeared and directly risen to 10th place."
Golden Ball was dressed like a rapper, sporting a small goatee. When he spoke, his brows furrowed involuntarily, giving him a bitter and resentful look.
"Do you think that guy might have gotten in through connections? It's not uncommon for this to happen; there are plenty of guys like that in the association."
The man who was speaking was wearing a brown snakeskin suit and a red tie. He was rather thin and looked very dejected.
He is Snake, the lowest-ranked A-class hero.
Snake's comments resonated with the Sterak.
"That guy definitely got in through connections!" Sting said indignantly. "I'm going to D City to challenge him in front of everyone and take back my 10th place."
Golden Ball frowned and said, "This isn't a good idea. Meaningless fighting between heroes might invite punishment from the association."
Stinger's attitude was resolute; he said in a deep voice, "I must challenge him!"
Snake said, "It's okay. As long as the fight doesn't get too serious, the association won't interfere too much. At most, they'll just issue a warning."
Snake couldn't be happier that Stinger would challenge Chu Yang, because that guy's sudden appearance made his already low ranking even more precarious.
Sting was also an impatient person; as soon as he made his decision, he immediately got up and hurriedly left the coffee shop.
Watching his departing figure, Golden Ball said worriedly, "This is going to cause trouble."
It was the next day when Stinger arrived in D City by tram.
Chu Yang happened to be dealing with a Tiger-level monster near the station. He didn't use anything, not even his Haki. He just used his physical strength to kill the monster instantly. His fist, as big as a casserole, landed on the monster like a butcher pounding meatballs. In the blink of an eye, the monster was turned into a pile of minced meat.
As soon as Stinger stepped out of the station, he witnessed the brutal scene. His eyelids twitched violently, and he licked his chapped lips.
What a dynamic newcomer! Is strength his special skill?
It's okay!
I can use technology to subdue him!
Poison Sting secretly emboldened himself and strode towards Chu Yang with extraordinary momentum.
Chu Yang also noticed the exaggeratedly styled Poison Sting, whose hairstyle resembled that of a non-mainstream person who frequented internet cafes.
The spear in his hand inexplicably resembled genitalia.
"You're that newcomer who ranked 10th in Grade A right from the start? Your name seems to be Chu Yang? Wow."
Poison Sting's expression was hostile, and his tone was full of provocation.
"Is there something you need?"
Chu Yang clapped his hands indifferently and cleaned away the blood and flesh on them.
Sting sneered, "Thanks to you, I was originally number 10, but now I'm number 11."
Chu Yang found him a bit puzzling and frowned, saying, "Shouldn't you reflect on yourself? If you were in 9th place, you wouldn't have been pushed down."
For a fleeting moment, Poison Sting felt that what Chu Yang said made a lot of sense.
The standoff between the two quickly attracted a large number of onlookers, some of whom started recording with their phones.
"In short, I'm going to challenge you and prove that I'm still the number 10 hero!"
Poison Sting flicked his beloved spear "Bamboo Shoot" forward, aiming the tip directly at Chu Yang, mercilessly slashing at his opponent.
"Why not just challenge for the 9th place? Is it because you can't beat them? Or is it because you like the number 10 too much?"
Chu Yang asked sincerely.
This made Poison Sting a little embarrassed and angry.
The implication is that he bullies the weak and fears the strong, and from an objective point of view, that's certainly the impression.
Poison Sting froze, realizing that neither attacking nor not attacking was an option, and the people around him had already started laughing.
"I was just joking. You're welcome to take action now. I also want to prove the value of my 10th place ranking."
Chu Yang put on a kind smile and spoke gently, but it sent a chill down Poison Sting's spine.
At this moment, there was no time to worry about anything else. Poison Sting charged towards Chu Yang with his spear, launching the first attack.
"Ultimate Move: Giant Spiral Poison Sting!"
The gun tip spun rapidly like lightning, the sound of it cutting through the air deafening.
This is Poison Sting's signature move, which has been invincible against Tiger-level monsters in the past, and is a one-hit kill move. It still has some lethality against Demon-level monsters.
The spear, as swift as lightning, pierced Chu Yang's face amidst the mist.
Chu Yang enveloped his entire body in Armament Haki, extended one palm, and blocked the spear. The sharp spear tip pierced Chu Yang's palm, bursting into brilliant sparks.
Poison Sting stared wide-eyed, looking as if he had seen a ghost.
Someone actually blocked his giant spiral stinger with their hand and wasn't injured!
Is this guy some kind of weirdo?
The bystanders gasped in shock, trembling with fear!
Chu Yang grabbed the spearhead, and sparks suddenly scattered like falling cherry blossoms, as the spinning spear slowly came to a stop.
No matter how hard the poisoned thorns exerted themselves, the spear remained motionless, held firmly in Chu Yang's grasp.
Chu Yang grinned, "You've been running all this way, you probably haven't rested much, have you?"
Poison Sting looked up at him blankly.
"sleep tight!"
Chu Yang suddenly took a step forward and kicked Poison Sting hard in the chest and abdomen, causing Poison Sting's internal organs to churn violently inside its body.
Poison Sting gasped for breath, his vision growing increasingly dim, and finally he couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground.
next second.
Flashes of light erupted!
The onlookers frantically took photos and videos, recording this humiliating moment. Chu Yang shook his head; tomorrow morning, Stinger would be on the news.
Among the crowd, a pair of eyes were fixed on Chu Yang.
As the crowd grew larger, Chu Yang had no choice but to quietly leave, leaving Poison Sting to sleep on the ground.
He originally intended to take the other person to a clinic or hospital. "What a nuisance! I hope others will be more discerning and stop causing trouble. If we want to rise in the rankings, eliminating these weirdos is the only way!"
On his way home, Chu Yang was complaining when he suddenly noticed someone blocking his way.
"Not again? When will this end?!"
Chu Yang scratched his head, looking impatient.
The man suddenly spoke up, "You're a ninja, aren't you? Which ninja village are you from?"
Chu Yang paused, then subconsciously said, "I'm from Konoha Village."
The man's expression turned blank.
"Where is Konoha Village?"
